Another thrashing (not convincing after that Stokes show on this road) for these flogs. Sanctimonious bozoball pommies crash out....glorious and that too without Lyon, moronic tactics and against pretty ordinary bowling.

England has to think how hard they have to go. You won both tosses, this match you sent australia to bat in overcast conditions in first innings and couldn't bowl them out cheaply. Last match when you were ahead you declared. Lyon got injured in match so they should have changed their tactics but they played same way, australia kept giving chances in field too. They just can't blame bairstow decision for this loss. Stokes didn't deserve to be on loosing side with that innings though. He even bowled 12 over spell in 3rd innings. Gave his best when injured. Australia were better team but they made alot mistakes today. England shouldn't have gotten this close. With 3 days gap some bowlers will probably get rest from both team. Would like to see wood & woakes back for anderson and robinson.

They're reaping the opposite of the bountiful good luck from last year! They were *ing lucky in at least 5-6 tests on the trot, now it's time to pay it back with interest!

Aus will pakka be one finalist in this WTC cycle. Eng to tour India next year, great chance for us to shut them out of this cycle as well.

Aussies wrapped up the match with 31/2 bowlers and India could not do anything with 5 bowlers.They could take only two wickets defending 378 enough said about class of Indian bowlers.

Bumrah is overrated here. May be statistically our best ever, but the number of times he has disappeared in important must-win games, astounding.

Same Aussies couldn't dedend 329 against us and couldn't enforce a win at the SCG.

And choked on two relatively lively surfaces in India this year, batting first, if someone from the TM didn't order Indore to be doctored that much we'd probably win that series 3-1 or 3-nil easily!

They played brave & attacking cricket and won. Luck favors brave. No way their same team with old pre bazball style was going to win series in pakistan leave 3-0 whitewash. So it helps playing that way in most situations but when opposition is really good they will have to change their game too. They got lucky in this series too btw, they lost cause they are too rigid and arrogant to change their approach according to the situation.
